Difference between stateless and stateful protocol

Stateless protocol: 

Stateless protocol are the type of network protocol in which client or customer send request to the server and server reply back according to current state. It does not require the server to retain session information or a status about each communicating partner for multiple requests.

Stateful protocol: 

In stateful protocol if the client sends a request to the server then it expects some kind of response, if it doesn't get any response then it resends the request.
